Although they collaborated together on several occasions, there is one film that De Niro believes they should not have made. Find out which one here.
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino have two of the most illustrious careers that Hollywood has ever seen and this is not only due to feature films in which each one stood out and demonstrated all his talent, but also to films acclaimed by the critics and the public in which they both shared the screen such as The Irishman, The Godfather 2 and Heat. However, there is a film that one of them regrets having made.
According to what was reported by Far Out Magazine, De Niro believes that there is an exception that tarnishes his legacy together with Pacino and it is Righteous Kill (a work better known in these latitudes as Face to Face), the film directed by Jon Avnet and released in September 2008, which disappointed both its protagonists, the public and specialized critics.
According to the aforementioned media, in an interview, Robert recalled how guilty he felt during the premiere of the film in Rome when both stars met fans who were eagerly awaiting their new adventure on the big screen. In that dialogue, the New York native recalled the promise he made to his followers: “I said: 'This is a great reaction, but it would be good if you were here for a feature film that we are really proud of.' Next time we will do one we like.'”
It should be remembered that the action thriller presents the actors as a duo of Big Apple police detectives who embark on a dangerous quest to locate a serial killer. And, although at first glance everything seemed like a table set for fans of the genre to have a good banquet, the truth is that the film was battered by the press, while at the box office, it achieved a profit of 78.4 million dollars with an investment of 60 million.
